		<title>Operation Currently Prohibited by Disc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has  a fabulous picture when you are watching movies on disc and is generally more responsive then the older Toshiba player; unfortunately, it has the annoying inconvenience of displaying the dreaded Operation Currently Prohibited by Disc message.]]></description>

		<title>The Apple Appliance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The introduction of the Apple iPad has engendered a somewhat luke-warm reception. It is a tablet computer about the size of a standard pad of paper, and features a color display with a screen that responds to touch. There are a number of core applications bundled with the device, not the least of which is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connecting iPhone to Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone with an iPod Touch or iPhone, support on Linux has been somewhat limited up until a few months ago. Fortunately, with the work on usbmuxd it is now possible to mount either one of these popular Apple devices on your favorite Linux distribution.]]></description>

		<title>Annual 2010 Predictions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it looks like my track record for 2009 may not be all that bad, although for the most part my overzealous predictions anticipated more adverse impact from the general state of the economy. Fortunately, things are looking better now so for 2010 these predictions should be a little more grounded.]]></description>

		<title>Living with Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last full-time Mac was a Centris 650, at the time I spent a lot of effort getting the Houdini 486 PC board running so that I could boot MS-DOS and possibly Linux. While Houdini never lived up to my expectations, the modern Mac is transformative in many regards.
Apple has put into the Mac many [...]]]></description>

		<title>HDCP Hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Samsung SyncMaster 215TW is a fabulous display that has proven challenging to configure with Ubuntu. At the very top of the list is the inability for the DVI connector to do anything at all, even when the computer starts in text mode there is nothing onscreen. After plugging in a Windows laptop, it seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Virtual Box Virtual Keys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While a new Mac OS X laptop might be the perfect system for hosting a cornucopia of virtual machines, you may soon discover that many of the Mac function keys are already used by your laptop subsystem. How do you get something as simple as F12 to access the virtual BIOS using VirtualBox?
Fortunately, VirtualBox includes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accelerating Agile Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Assuming there is any reasonable amount of development time available, the agile process ensures that you implement the most important features first. If your project has any estimates for delivery date, they should simply reflect when the business requires the program or when your project dependency must be met.]]></description>

		<title>Playing ISO Images on Ubuntu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it use to be that you could simply double-click on an ISO image and have it automatically launch Totem. Assuming the ISO contained an image of a DVD filesystem, it would start to play the movie. This convenient feature has been replaced in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) with the equally convienent feature of mounting [...]]]></description>
